Poetry Presentation"The moon now rises to her absolute rule"The moon now rises to her absolute ruleAnd the husbandman and hunterAcknowledge her for their mistressAsters and golden reign in the fieldsAnd the life everlasting withers notThe fields are reaped and shorn of their prideBut an inward verdure still crowns them;The thistle scatters its down on the poolAnd yellow leaves clothe the river-And nought disturbs the serious life of men.But behind the sheaves and under the sodThere lurks a ripe fruit which the reapers have not gathered,The true harvest of the year- the boreal fruit.Which it bears forever ,With fondness annually watering it and maturing it.But man never severs the stalkWhich bears palatable fruit.Thematic StatmentIn the poem," The moon now rises to her absolute rule", author Henry David Thoreau displays the message that even though man can contain mother nature, mother nature is superior and we should acknowledge that. " The moon now rises to her absolute rule, And the husbandman and hunter Acknowledge her for their mistress.", "The true harvest of the year- the boreal fruit Which it bears forever, With fondness annually watering and maturing it. But man never severs the stalk Which bears this palatable fruit." These lines basically proving how mother nature gives us fruit and vegetation yet we recognize we should not dismember it for our own but respect it.AnnotationsAnnotating to find meaningTheme statement ConclusionBasically the poem " The moon now rises to her absolute rule" by Henry David Thoreau is trying to express the respect/ode we should have for mother nature.Henry David ThoreauJuly 12, 1817- May 6, 1862Transcendentalist Accepted to Harvard in 1833-1837Lived with Ralph EmersonAn individualist and showed it through his writingHe wrote mainly about natureLived in woods (isolated) in a cabin outside of town
